Strap for Conquest Classic Automatic 40 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the Longines Conquest Classic L2.785.4.56.6 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the lugs on the case and is essential for selecting compatible straps. You can verify it using a digital calliper or by consulting the original documentation of your timepiece.

For the Conquest Classic L2.785.4.56.6, alligator leather or shell cordovan straps in vegetable tanning represent the classic choice, in cognac, dark brown, or black tones. For more sporty applications, consider fine-grained calf leather or high-density rubber straps. Your choice depends on your personal style and intended use.

To change the strap, remove your watch and use a dedicated spring bar tool to push one of the pins securing the strap to the case inward. Once the pin retracts, the strap will detach. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, insert the pins into the lug holes until you feel them click into place. If you are inexperienced, Casati Milano offers professional installation.
